| Price Band (£): | over 50 | ||||||
| Score: | 4,5 | ||||||
| Natural strength. Mid amber. Wonderful aged nose (flowers and fruit; highly scented). These scents pass over in the taste, and linger in the very long finish. Holds together well with a drop of water, becoming more complex. Pleasant mouthfeel, sweet then dry. An excellent, vibrant old whisky. | |||||||
